Outshone Kate?! LMAO Everything Kate does is a sensation everything she wears is sold out in no time etc. with Charlene the world couldn't care less... But when you criticize her you are of course jealous, mean or simply plain evil. People are just "allowed" to ahhh and ohhh over her pics... *rolleyes*

I realize she is trying to appear pious by showing attending mass but It is inappropriate to wear a rosary as jewelry. It is actually frowned on and Even our bishop wrote a letter on it. It is not a fashion statement (aka Kim Kardashian wearing one). It is disrespectful and she should know better! She was so beautiful. Why all these fillers and Botox? She looks gaunt and her smile never reaches her eyes because she is expressionless. Vanity and exercising on the beach for show while living outside the country should be replaced with learning French and attending more events in Monaco.

Why am I not surprised just because I was bold enough to mention Marys name..Tell me why do you delete every message with her name in, but allowe comments about others talking about botox and fillers? I would be in shock if this comment don't get deleted...

As noted in French above, it is a pearl necklace, worn in other appearances before. The spacing in it is not unusual in France. I have a similar style. And I am also Catholic and can recognize a rosary vs. a necklace. I don't believe they are attending mass or that she is attempting to appear pious or otherwise. They are at a Red Cross event at the head quarters. she is dressed appropriately, if somewhat somberly, but respectful of the events of the last few days in neighboring France. I was unaware she did not know French after her years in Monaco but I bow to your inside knowledge. She seems to make numerous appearances of late in her role as princess but she is also the mother of two babies. I don't claim to know her motivations for exercising but it has been widely reported they are staying at one of their country homes just outside the principality while the renovation are ongoing in the palace. I believe lead and asbestos were among the reasons. Seems sensible with infants though I believe both Princess Grace and Princess Caroline raised their children largely at their country homes. Honestly, who would care as long as she and her husband are satisfied. The people of Monaco seem to be very happy with her and she well spoken of whenever I have been there. I'm puzzled by the level of vitriol and personal condemnation toward her on the remarks.

Agreed, Charlotte and Anon 17:35. This new haircut is growing on me, the more I look at it. Of the younger royals, Charlene has always had the most avantgarde style. Just when I think she has become more conservative, she surprises us with something edgy like this. A textbook Charlene move. Guaranteed to provide food for thought.

The new look is very sporty, elegant and businessalike and the hair-cut is great, but the clothing does nothing for her. Too cold, too business, too sporty, too elegant, too black ... no warmth, no kitschy, no edge.....too akris......too young and too old...........too "salza"..........maybe velvet and silk are her materials.

She is too tall and angular to wear such a mannish hairstyle. This is ridiculous. I hope she lets it grow out into a more feminine hairstyle to balance out her rather masculine frame. (I know she can't help her frame, but if she actually WANTS to look feminine, get a feminine hairstyle. Or maybe she's going for the total masculine look.)

Anonymous21:45 I am not a man and I agree with Anonymous19:51 whom you criticized.

I think Princess Charlene is a very pretty woman, but this new pixie haircut is way too severe for her strong facial features. Perhaps after it grows out a bit it will frame her face better, but right now it makes her look "plastic".

Didn't know there was a special haircut for a princesess...stupid me. Oh my god what did Diana think who had short hair all her time in the limelight...or Sophia, Beatrix, Elisabeth, Sonja, Anne-Marie etc etc etc

I like the fact she is enough brave to try an unconventional cut . As someone said here, she tries to be different . Good. On the other hand , all that plastic surgery and botox are really ridiculous. Stop please, before it's too late, and don't destroy your face , you really don't need it . Caroline

Short, well-cut hair looks OK on a lot of women, but this awful "short-back-and-sides" should be reserved for policemen and army recruits.. Besides, the shaved sides show off her ears, which are, well.. not small. A very bad look. Is she planning to join the marines?

Both Charlize Theron, another South African, and Sharon Stone have worn the same style with great success (with both also being tall, athletically built woman as well). I find it flattering to her features and she has the makeup tuned to a good level to avoid a 'mannish' look. Her eyes look incredible where I never have noticed them before. As a mother with two young babies (regardless of how much help) it has got to be easier and more comfortable with little grabbing fists. I notice she has been avoiding wearing earrings of late too- possibly for the same reason. Sometimes practicality rather than making a statement is behind a change.

She seems to smile more toward the individuals she is interacting with than for the cameras at large and more relaxed. Her makeup in the second image is very flattering , enough but not too much- great lipstick color on her pale skin. She's avoiding the perma-tan so many others do. Also, I know many Catholics that wear religious medallions but I see indication in these pictures that the beaded necklace is a rosary (and yes I am Catholic and familiar with them). I have seen similar spacers in regular pearl necklaces in France and Italy particularly. The black dress is by Gucci, I think, and whether it and the boxy coat are 'boring' to some, she looks comfortable in them and appropriate. Not loving the brown shoes with the black tights but I get it is to tie in to the brown leather straps of the wrap dress. Given the Grimaldi female attire in general, I can appreciate an err in caution against the more 'vivid' taste of, say, Princess Stephanie at official events. But so much nicer if we can focus on the fact she seems smiling and happy in her role, one on one with the recipients, than tearing her apart for her style choices.

Charlene is very beautiful, she has beautiful blue eyes and she has a wonderfull body that a lot of women would like to have, it is why we saw so nasty comments of jalious women. She was giving gifts to poor ederly persons at the Red Cross center, the persons seemed very happy to meet her. Short hair or long hair, it is not the affair of these persons who are criticing her, she is wearing a medal of Sainte Devote and perhaps a rosary, she is a pious person and it is her own believing we have not to critic the believing of a person. and as mother, she is a doted mummy, she never left her children, she is looking after on them every time, she is always with them, she never left them, we don't see her alone in holidays but with her children and she brought them to the mass at PortoVecchio, it is a shame to read these critics, I think that all the comments come from only one persons who is writtiing a lot of comments to make think that there are a lot of comments about her.

No, I don't want to have her manly body I'm very happy with my own. But of course it's not allowed to criticize holy Charlene if you do you are just mean and jealous. Charlene should simply do her job as Princess of Monaco. She doesn't have to be around her kids 24/7 she has two nannies and a night nurse and her kids are nearly a year old. What do poor working women do?! We haven't seen her for months while she has been in Corsica. She only returned to Monaco for National Day and I suppose she'll disappear again after that. She doesn't do anything for Monaco but she lives off Monaco (and her whole family too) this is unacceptable IMO. Imagine other royals doing this... Charlene has never worked properly since (and also before) the wedding she is simply lazy.

Maybe she needed time to mourne over her grandmothers death? Maybe the kids was sick? Isn't it easy to sit behind a computer and lash out when we have no idea what goes on in their life...and just to inform you all Albert was in Corsica with his family too! And are alle the royals the same? Or is the fact that not everybody run their houses the same way, and in som houses like Monacco the men work the most...who much did really Grace work or Caroline when she was the first lady..hmmm

Sorry to say this but the haircut is terrible, way too short. It was just starting to grow a little and looked so much softer. This look is not good even for her and she can wear short hair better than most. What was she thinking??
